lyrics

Bloodlines

Gravel scattered, patches of dead grass
Once spanned across this mountain pass
But they gathered up their goods
And they gathered up their maps
And the road was made by walking it

Coyotes crying, hiding in the desert shade
Rocks that cut like a razor blade
Burning backs baked from relentless rays
And the road was made by walking it

The task to make a passage was a lengthy feat
Countless miles swept by countless feet
A millennium or ten until it was complete
And the road was made by walking it

The strength to stand upright with forward-facing eyes
Smashing stones turned to enterprise
Passing what they favored down throughout time
The road was made by walking it

We find it in our bloodlines
Right in our ancestry
Tie your laces, brace the weather
Can we walk this road together?
Our solitary purpose
Our common cause is this:
Persist, persist

Gravel scattered, patches of dead grass
Once spanned across this mountain pass
But they gathered up together and they made a pact
And the road was made by walking it
And now you find yourself with two broken feet
Days of isolation and misery
I will carry you until my arms grow weak
'Cause we make the road

We find it in our bloodlines
Right in our ancestry
The fearless stride of those we follow
Won't you walk this road with me?
Our solitary purpose
Our common cause is this:
Persist, persist
